Dear ITLC --
Recruitment is now underway for this year’s Ignite Event!
Do you have an exciting idea, philosophy, pedagogy, teaching technique, an amazing proof, a mathematical side-interest, a discipline-related hobby, a secret to great teaching or learning? Did your topic not even exist until this week? Are you nervous or uncertain about presenting a full session but willing to "get your feet wet" for 5 minutes among friends?
ITLC is once again sponsoring the Ignite Event at the 48th annual AMATYC Conference! Twenty slides are automatically advanced every 15 seconds while the speakers have exactly five minutes to share their passion! Audience participation is encouraged. We always have a packed room for the Ignite fun at the conference, with 2021 being no different as we returned to an in-person format! We have to record this year’s event.
E-mail your idea for a talk to Ignite host Eddie Tchertchian (eddietchertchian@amatyc.org). We’re looking for presentations that might entertain and excite a mathematician; motivate a professor to try something new or improve the teaching and learning of mathematics.
Give it a try, won’t you? “Enlighten us, but make it quick!” The ITLC looks forward to seeing you “on stage” in Toronto!
